Pale, milky white except for its light sprinkle of paprika coating, Muenster is mild in every sense of the word. Its smooth, slightly salty and buttery flavor almost melts on the tongue. Slicing through it is like slicing through a stick of butter with a hot knife.

You'll find Muenster perfectly at home on a veggie tray with tomatoes, baby carrots and zucchini. Add some crackers, rye or whole-grain breads on the side (don't forget the mustard for dipping) and you've got a complete entertaining platter
